IM IN UR MANGER KILLING UR SAVIOR

The very first and most famous For Tax Reasons cartoon. Released as a holiday short in November of 2007, it features three nerds turning a nativity scene into a LARP battle. This short introduced the world to Ronin Dojo Community College DX crew, and many confused parents to the concept of Live Action Role Playing.  

We followed it up with a couple vlog responses from the characters talking about how bad it was.
